A single facility stochastic location problem undera-distance

Abstract

In this paper we consider a stochastic facility location model in which the weights of demand points are not deterministic but independent random variables, and the distance between the facility and each demand point isA-distance. Our objective is to find a solution which minimizes the total cost criterion subject to a chance constraint on cost restriction. We show a solution method which solves the problem in polynomial order computational time. Finally the case of rectilinear distance, which is used in many facility location models, is discussed.
